If I tell you there is this tiny, picturesque village in the easternmost part of country, which receives the first rays of the sun and that it is surrounded by snow capped mountains and pine forests and is a haven for people who who are searching for peace, tranquility and beauty all at the same time, would not you wish you were there already? That is exactly why we curated this trip for you. But before we reach Dong valley, wouldn’t it be a great idea to explore more places on the route ? That is why we will go to Dambuk, the orange bowl of Arunachal Pradesh which produces some of the best oranges in the country and Pasighat, the land of mighty Siang and indigenous hanging bridges. And when we are talking of these amazing indigenous bridges, how can we not visit the Pongging view point to watch the rivers Siyom and Siang meet, from atop one of those intricately built hanging bridges? And of course we will visit the quaint and cute Roing which houses the quiet Sally lake inside the Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary. Sally Lake is home to numerous species of birds. From Sally Lake, we will then move towards Lal pahaar to see the tallest Buddha Statue in the state of Arunachal Pradesh and wait for the day to turn into orange and pink dusk so that we can visit the Golden Pagoda and see the magic it weaves with the light of the setting sun. Situated on the banks of the river deahang, the majestic Golden Pagoda, built in Thai/Burmese style, is a sight to behold. If you are a spiritual person this is one place you should not miss visiting. If you love beauty and aesthetics this is one place you should not miss visiting. Yes we will also visit Parshuram Kund, the place where sage Parshuram dipped his hands to cleanse his sins and the place became a holy place of worship thereafter. Is it not exciting that we will be visiting Kibithoo and Kaho, the last border villages in the Indo-China border in the same trip? So..do not wait, book your trip with us at your soonest.
